In a move to bolster its financial structure, Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation has successfully issued a total of $2.3 billion in medium-term notes, as detailed in a recent 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
On Friday, the company released $450 million in aggregate principal amount of its Floating Rate Notes due 2027, alongside $950 million of 4.600% Notes due 2027, and $900 million of 4.700% Notes due 2029.
These notes were issued under Caterpillar Financial's existing Registration Statement on Form S-3 and related Prospectus and Pricing Supplements, with Sidley Austin LLP providing the legal opinion on the issuance.

The fixed rate notes carry annual interest rates of 4.600% and 4.700%, respectively. This strategic financial maneuver aims to enhance the company's liquidity and financial flexibility.
